TECHNICAL EXHIBITION TECHNICAL EXCURSIONS

The exhibition is located in the foyer of the congress fl oor and in the Meridian room, and will be open as follows: The conference participants can choose from fi ve excursions to the underground structures in and around Prague Monday, 22 April 2013 08:00–18:00 organised on Wednesday, 24 April 2013 in the morning. For available spaces please check with the registration desk. Tuesday, 23 April 2013 08:00–18:00 Excursion A: The Blanka Tunnel Complex The Blanka Tunnel Project in Prague is currently the largest underground structure being built in the Czech Republic. The total length of this ambitious project is 6 382 metres and it forms part of the North-west Inner City Circular Road of which a section about 17 km long is already in service. After its opening, expected in 2014, the tunnel will be the longest in the country and at the same time one of its sections will be the longest driven tunnel in the Czech Republic with its length of 2.23 km.

The visit will focus on the tunnel section at Královská obora which starts at the “U Vorlíků” crossroad fi rst with a short cut and cover section at Letná followed by a driven section routed under the blocks of buildings, Stromovka (Královská obora park), river canal, Císařský ostrov (island), the Vltava river and then continues with another, slightly longer, cut and cover section to the portal at Trója. The total length is 3.09 km of which 2230 m are driven.

During this visit you will see the three lane tunnels, VAC machine room – one of the tunnels with the biggest cross section area in the country (300 m2), ventilation outlet shaft of 7 m diameter which runs closely under the three lane tunnels and Room No. 4 housing plant and equipment. The visit will focus on the tunnel furnishing.

Meeting point: Information centre at the Letná construction site Milady Horákové street, opposite the Sparta football stadium Transportation: public – by tram No. 1, 5, 12, 25 or 26 from Hradčanská station (metro A), or by tram No. 1 from Vltavská station (metro C); Sparta stop Excursion time: 09:30–11:30 Recommended: solid shoes Provided: English interpretation, hard hat, protective jacket

Excursion B: Section V.A of the Prague Underground Excursion C: Multi-utility Ducts in the Historic Centre of Prague The V.A underground section is the extension of Line A from Dejvice to Motol. The total length of this section is Prague has a large network of underground multi-utility ducts of about 90 km total length. These ducts contain the 6.12 km and there are three driven stations at Červený vrch, Veleslavín and Petřiny and one cut and cover station at majority of service networks needed to sustain city life. The multi-utility ducts were built as part of major housing Motol. The Project is divided into 9 sub-projects. developments in the outskirts of the city but in recent decades they were also built in the historic centre. The total length of the duct network in the centre is 17 km and it consists of the backbone and distribution ducts. The back The station at Petřiny is designed as a single driven nave of 217 m with an island platform situated 37 m below bone ducts (Category 2 ducts) with a cross section profi le of 20 m2 are located 25 to 30 m below ground level and ground level. The axial distance between the rails in the station is 14.7 m. In the direction of Motol station there they deliver water, gas etc. to the points where they are connected to the distribution ducts (Category 3 ducts). is a single turning track located in a single track tunnel between the two main line tunnels. All three tunnels are These are located 6 to 11 m below the ground level and their cross section profi le is 20 m2. They have branches interconnected at the point where the turning track ends and the tunnel continues with the main ventilation plant leading to the buildings. The site visit to the multi-utility ducts in the centre of Prague will be organised with the room with the vent shaft. The exit at the north end of the station is via three escalators in a driven tunnel leading support of the system operator – Kolektory Praha, a. s. The participants will be divided into groups and, after a brief to the entrance hall. The driving operations at the station started in June 2010 by driving the access shaft called introduction of the duct network and its control system, they will visit the main control room and a section of a duct “Markéta” and at the moment the fi nal lining operations are going on. in operation.

Veleslavín station is located approximately in the middle of Evropská Street between the existing railway line and Meeting point: Kolektory Praha, a.s. the east end of K Červenému vrchu Street. The station is designed as a shallow driven structure with three naves Senovážné náměstí 11, Praha 1 and the island platform 19 m below ground level. The axial distance between the rails is 15 m. At the west end Transportation: public – by tram No. 3, 9, 14, 24 from Václavské náměstí (Wenceslas Square – Můstek of the platform there is a cut and cover structure in which three escalators and lifts leading to the entrance hall station, metro A), or by tram No. 9 or on foot from Hlavní nádraží station (metro C); are located. The positioning of the station, entrance hall and exits is designed so that there would be a direct link Jindřišská stop to the temporary bus terminal, tram stops at Evropská Street and it also takes into consideration the envisaged Excursion time: 1st group 09:00–11:00, 2nd group 09:30–11:30, 3rd group 10:00–12:00 modernisation of the railway line including the express line station without any future need for modifi cations. Recommended: solid shoes, comfortable clothes Provided: EEnglish interpretation, hard hat, protective jacket The visit will focus on Petřiny and Veleslavín stations where the concreting of the fi nal lining is going on now. From both these stations it will be possible to see the completed single track tunnels driven with an EPB tunnel boring machine. The completed line will be put in service in the second half of 2014. The excursion also includes a walk through track tunnels between Veleslavín and Petřiny stop with 2 km lenght and duration of about 30 minutes. The path has a concrete base.
